After all the positive reviews here it's hard not to agree or say the same of what has already been said about this series. Perfect casting all the way down the line, yes there were a few episodes that fell into the TV tropes at the time but to have episodes like the Turkeys Away episode that everyone seems to remember, to an episode of the tragedy at The Who concert. Or Venus teaching a kid in a gang about the Atom in such a way that even I remember, what incredibly smart TV to make you think and laugh at the same time.
This series was also placed after M. A. S. H. for a time on Mondays when M. A. S. H. was the number one series on TV and WKRP actually scored higher in the Nielsen ratings really says something. CBS floated this series all over the place for four seasons squeaking out 90 episodes. The series was so popular in reruns during the 80's that in the early 90's they brought it back in syndication called the New WKRP in Cincinnati.
I guess most of all I always enjoyed it since it's original run and in reruns, it brought a huge smile to me and some laugh out loud moments. Comfort TV when I needed it the most. Thank you Dr. Johnny Fever, The Big Guy Carlson , Venus, Andy, Bailey, Herb, Les, Jennifer you made this TV watcher very happy.
R. I. P. To Howard Hessman, Frank Bonner and Gordon Jump, hopefully Led Zepplins song Stairway to Heaven sang them off to that Rock-N-Roll station in the sky...
